Interesting that OPEC tried but failed to hit its quota in July. Oil supply is more constrained than one would think, and oil price needs to be higher to incentivize production.

$HUM at $235/share super interesting. Industry slow-down, focus on profitability (vs. growth); downcycle of pricing, upcycle in terms of utilization (costs) -- normalizing in 2027; star rating likely to go up rather than down leading to higher EPS: youtube.com/watch?v=QQreqz…

$VRTS' distribution & admin services fees are based on average weekly sales or average daily net assets -- trying to wrap my head around this... but how come revenue from these two segments are greater in a bear market like 2022 vs. bull markets like 23 and 24? any thoughts?..

Interesting comment from $MKL on investing through cycles— lump earnings over the next five years with reasonable leverage and then you won’t have to compete with PE firms that lever things up and can’t sustain short term losses (disallowing them to service debt).

Sharing one of our recently added portfolio holding taking advantage of the tariff-related sell-off: 5x PE, 15% dividend yield, 20%+ mkt cap in cash, dominant player in a niche market, one of the finest management teams we have met. Hope you will enjoy: jingshu.substack.com/p/a-global-inv…

Fascinating read. 40 years TI was generating $3.7 billion of sales and $250mm net profit. Now it's generating ~$18 billion sales and $5-6 billion net profit. Margin from 7% to 35%, wild... And all those gloom and doom, now a 100x... latimes.com/archives/la-xp…

Not sure if anyone knows Tim Stabosz who specializes in micro-caps. After this reflection, he ended up bombing $3.5mm in Phi Inc, and his SA page's core holdings in Dec 2023 has in general declined by 50% in last year's raging bull market. Wild... mixcloud.com/microcapinvest…

Really nice summary of recent and upcoming spinoffs thanks to the effort of @zenofinvesting thezenofinvesting.com/2024/12/30/upc… Looks like 2025's spinoffs will be back-end loaded. Will be some fun work for the summer!

deeconconsulting.com/deecon-struct/…, executiveeducation.wharton.upenn.edu/thought-leader…, supplychaindive.com/news/just-in-t…, three interesting articles on the notion of JIT and optimal supply chain management. Lots of food for thought from extreme supply chain tightness to seemingly endless supply.

CLS was sold for $3 bil, BRLink was a Brazil tech service provider, and Keenondots was a dutch cloud-based automation platform (bolster Ingram Micro's cloud services capabilities and support its digital transformation). $INGM at 6x EBITDA looks very interesting ($21.8/share).
